I had my first road test in Sep, 2007 and failed for 6 major serious faults – I actually stopped right in the middle of the road. The second test was in Feb, 2008. It was only after I failed 7 or 8 times, that I stopped feeling nervous. I gained more confidence after each test afterwards.
To be honest, my theory test expires in April 2009. I had already prepared myself to try another 2 years. I know I’ve got the ability to pass the test – my instructor and most of the recent examiners have convinced me of that fact – I just need a bit of luck and just be myself during the test. Eventually I got there.
You’ll be there. Trust me. If I can pass the test, then most people, with a bit of perseverance – Can!
Good luck and have fun driving / learning to drive.
